The Month of May

What a fun month! May has flown by, and we really enjoyed celebrating our birthdays and my first Mother's Day! Thank you all for the birthday and Mother's Day wishes! We went to see "The Lion King" at the Overture Center here in Madison and had a fancy dinner beforehand to celebrate all of these occasions. Corry, Lisa, Adelle & Autumn were nice enough to come up and babysit Tate while we had our date night! The first couple photos are just before we left; Zoey is trying to get in on the action in this first one, and the 2nd is us all gussied up for the night!


This was our first time at the Overture Center; it was gorgeous and the actual show was amazing. Beautiful music and costumes.

Tate loves his high chair. I finally caught a smile on film while he sat with Mommy and had breakfast:


One of the reasons I love spring is because it's garage sale season! I found this awesome beaver hat for a quarter and just couldn't resist buying it. It's ridiculous, right?


Bathtime is Tate's favorite time of the day! He loves to splash around and enjoy the warm water. Caught a little of it on tape:


Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone! We're headed up to Lakeside for the first time with Tate! We'll be sure to catch some good pics/video of him checking out the beach and lake!
XOXO~

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

It's been a busy few weeks! In addition to going back to work (barf), I've visited Chicago a few times to see friends/family and celebrate Bec's upcoming wedding at her bridal shower! Tate got to hang out with Aunt Kristy, and meet Aunt Cathy and friends Gina & Joe! Tate is getting stronger and more inquisitive by the day, and we've got some cute photos of him trying out his Bumbo seat for the first time. He's three months old today!

Here's Daddy and Tate getting ready for a walk (it was still pretty chilly out so Daddy kept him close):

Tate was not happy that I was trying to snap him in his cute monkey outfit:

Look at that cute monkey butt!

Aunt Kristy snuggling with Tate:


"Hey Mom, I kinda like this thing! I can sit up on my own in it!"

"This is surprisingly comfortable!"

"This is pretty cool, Mom & Dad!"

"I caught you taking my picture, Mom!"

Bec's mom and best friend Mandy threw her a beautiful bridal shower. Here's Bec with a great handmade gift showcasing her new last name, Rowland!

Bec and her hostesses!

Kate, Bec, and I enjoying some sangria!

There were beautiful gerbera daisies and roses scattered around Mandy's house; I couldn't resist taking a photo:

Have a great weekend everyone! Kenny and I are having a date night for our birthdays on Saturday! We're going out to dinner and seeing "The Lion King" at the Overture Center! We're also getting some 'professional' shots taken of Tate and our little family by a photographer friend so I'll be sure to post those soon! Until then, be well!
